My Kitchen Rules Spice Girls in Twitter race row

MY Kitchen Rules is at the centre of a bitter race dispute after last night's Spice Girls episode.

Contestants Jessie Khan and Biswa Kamila were pilloried on Twitter as they flamed out on the Channel 7 cooking show.

Seven's usual Twitter feed dropped out part way through last night's show as comments turned sour.

''The Indian b.....s are so going'' and ''pack your bags girls, back to India'' were amongst the tweets aimed at the pair.

Other comments included ''they are m....s who rate themselves far too highly'', ''Jessie and Biswa your (sic) i....s'' and ''watching Jessie and Biswa cook makes (me) either want to take a taxi somewhere or sing Jai Ho''.

''Jessie and Biswa are like the Collingwood of MKR. 90% of the country is against them and the few that do support them are probably r......d'', another tweeted.

Members of the Indian community also slammed the pair on social media.

''I'm embarrassed for my race, my ancestors are rolling in their graves at that horrific display of Indian culture,'' one tweeted.

''Jessie & Biswa wake up the next day to find out they have been disowned by the Indian community,'' another posted.

Celebrity Charlotte Dawson slammed viewers on social media for making racist comments against the pair.

''OK people are being vile & racist over a reality cooking show,'' Dawson tweeted. ''Check yourselves Twitter peeps. Not cool at all.''

''This racist thing is just horrible,'' Dawson tweeted later.

My Kitchen Rules executive producer Rikkie Proost says the show's Twitter feed was interrupted because of technical issues and not because of hate-based comments.

''Due to the volume of tweets. during the 'Spice Girls' episode of MKR there were technical glitches at Broadcasting Centre Melbourne which meant Twitter feeds were different in different states,'' Proost said.

Channel Seven insists things didn't turn nasty.

''Generally I think people were shocked that they went so badly,'' a Seven spokesperson says.

''Toward the end of the show people were feeling sorry for them.''

Earlier this week Kamila claimed the pair had received death threats after criticising other contestants food and instant restaurants.

''We have had death threats,'' Kamila told IBTimes.

''Someone said 'if we see them we are going to stab them'. It feels like the whole of Australia hates us.

''We are just saying everything truthfully. We're not trying to lie or backstab or anything. If we say 'we don't like this', we don't personally mean we don't like you, we mean we just don’t like your food.

''How hard is it to distinguish between the two? It's a competition, it's never a personal attack.''
